An every day account of a small racing yard and the highs and lows....

The blood results have come back for Ted and Kingsley and Ted 's show that he was clearly very sick. Kingsley's weren't great but nowhere near as bad, so at least we have got an excuse for their 'hairy goat' runs. A course of antibiotics should do the trick. Kingsley will probably be moved on as an event/hunting horse as he can't quite stay three miles and he has a lovely jump and paces.
Last night we went to Ben Case's to celebrate the success of Croco Bay at Cheltenham. He was paraded in the marquee and then we watched the race again on the big screen - It was almost as exciting watching it all over again - Such a fabulous result and a great training feat by Ben and Sarah and 'Team Case' as he hadn't run for around eight months before the big race.

About Me

Pauline has been race riding her own horses in point to points for 15 years and is now training with Doug. Pauline has recently got her trainers permit. They are both passionate about National Hunt racing and achieving maximum potential from their horses in the best possible way. This is why ‘Equine Fitness’ is a very exciting new business for them.
In 2006 Doug eventually plucked up the courage (it only took 7 years!) to propose to Pauline whilst they were on holiday in the Maldives and they married in the Lake District in June 2007.
